Keep America strong - flu shots for the needy only
Guest Editorial: Horace T. Winwax, III
Recently I tried to obtain my yearly flue-shot, but was turned away because I am too young and in too good health to require a flue-shot. I asked the medicos as to why I would not be allowed a flue-shot, and they informed me that it is due to a short supply.
Normally I am very kind to old people, and would give them half of a bagel, or my left over coffee if they asked, but saving flue-shots for them seems perfectly unreasonable. After all who benefits when the old or the sick don't get any sicker? Not me! And not the USA. Imagine all the hours of lost productivity if I, and others like me have to lay in bed with the flue because we were not allowed to get a flue-shot.
Saving flue-shots for the sick and the elderly is the worst kind of favoritism imaginable, I mean, why not enroll them in special college courses so they can get a masters in senility? I propose that we save these flue-shots for the young and healthy so that American productivity remains at a high level throughout the winter time and contributes to our economic success.
Horace T. Winwax is the author of several non-fiction books that have never been published. He would claim to be a Senator in order to get a flu shot. Currently he is working on learning the difference between flue and flu. |
